For all those excited by the opening of the
Lubalin Now show at the Cooper Union Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography, we've got a collection of covers from
Fact magazine, which Lubalin art directed from 1965-1967.
You can see 14 of the 22 covers that Lubalin designed here. Fact was a journal of politics and journalism, printed all in black and white. Each issue featured the work of a single illustrator, and the covers bore the signature Lubalin illustrative typographic style, oftentimes with little or no imagery. While Lubalin's work on
